Chapter 24 (1/2)
“Zheng PingQing you fucker-” Huo YeRui was so angry he made a rude remark on the spot He had to s the second half of his sentence though, as several high-class people surrounded him He didn't want to cause a heart attack
Huo YeRui had to pour hilass of ice water to cal PingQing's goals He was busy being angry after getting teased, and his mind was filled with thea lesson
Suddenly, there was a commotion just outside the restaurant door A classmate ran in, flustered He looked around, and when he spotted Huo YeRui, he ran towards hi happened”
Huo YeRui frowned “What's the matter?”
The classhting on the skating rink You have to go out and break theor, and he hastily put down his cup and left
After his conversation with Huo YeRui, Zheng PingQing's et any better With the situation with hishis heart, he had a sense of restlessness that he just couldn't get rid of
Theit, Zheng PingQin decided to change into a pair of skates and enter the rink
The sky had long turned dark, and it was dinnertime Because of this, the venue was Qing didn't have to worry about bu into anyone, so he emptied his mind and aimlessly wandered around
Chen shi+Yi's words echoed over and over:
“PingQing, it's ht that while you had me, Lin Qian didn't have a mother Because of that, I wanted you to be kind to hi your mother…”
“I just wanted to stop you two fro each other Lin Qian doesn't know that I'm your mother I only talked to you about this, which I now realize isn't fair to you…”
“PingQing, I just hope you can be happy Don't hurt others anyht? Don't hurt yourself anyht about ould've happened if he had never humiliated Lin Qian due to Chen shi+Yi's words If he never fought Lin Qian, if they never got suspended, never did so so irreversible He and Chen shi+Yi would never have such an antagonistic relationshi+p
Would he have eventually heard Chen shi+Yi's apology?
At seventeen, he had been young and intense In his past life, he had felt like a fire was burning his heart When he poured just a little bit of oil, it exploded Back then, he had never cared about the consequences of his actions He sione too far, and he wasn't able to turn back
“PingQing, I' here for a while If…if you like…I would like it, if I could formally introduce our relationshi+p to Lin Qian…”
Back at the restaurant, Zheng PingQing had been bewildered and couldn't answer properly He had been too fidgety and onlywas veryher: “I also want to formally introduce you to my relationshi+p with Lin Qian”
It would've probably caused her and Lin YaZhi to cry on each other's shoulders!
Zheng PingQing's thoughts started to stray into darker territory
While he was absent his way until the man was practically on top of him
His feet subconsciously moved to turn his body, as he instinctively wanted to avoid the oncoe of direction, and the two ended up clashi+ng head-on, before separating
Zheng PingQing felt like the person in front of hiuely familiar, but he couldn't remember his name
This person shouted first, histi and hi wasn't the best skater in the first place, and with this unexpected collision, he failed to stabilize his body He toppled and hit the ice hard
While in pain, Zheng PingQing shouted back: “What's your problem?”
Thedown to a halt With a condescending sneer, he looked down on Zheng PingQing and said: “I didn't expect you to transfer to No 12 Zheng PingQing, don't telllistened to this person raduated frory or offended at this person's words He only found it funny
However, he finally remembered who this person was He was the h School in his second year But…
“hello” Zheng PingQing greeted
He cannot for the life of him remember this person's name
This person narrowed his eyes “What, you're really gonna pretend not to knowstood up, and as he patted his clothes, he replied: “I know you, but I don't remember your name”
The other person: “…”
So, what's going on? Are you ok?”
Zheng PingQing suddenly had a thought: “Oh, that's right; you're Zheng Chong”
Zheng Chong iht that Zheng PingQing was doing this on purpose Angry, Zheng Chong reached out to push Zheng PingQing again “You don't need to pretend”
Again, Zheng Chong caught Zheng PingQing unaware Zheng PingQing was pushed before he could even properly stand In the end, he wobbled and fell
Zheng PingQing didn't care the first time around because he was too lazy to settle such old disputes with a high school student But now, he had been pushed twice in a row It was time to teach this bear child how to behave and act like a proper hu, he swore and kicked at Zheng Chong's feet, also bringing hi exclai as a joke But he didn't expect falling so hard that his five senses were disrupted, eventears to his eyes
“fuck you, Zheng PingQing” Zheng Chong was so aggravated, he couldn't wait to stand up and beat Zheng PingQing on the ice
After fighting Lin Qian for , as now fa styles, was cold and cal Chong never expected Zheng PingQing's fighting skills to develop soeasily countered all of his hting back furiously and swearing as he did so His punches and kicks were becoot ry shouts, the fight quickly attracted attention So Chong and No 12's Zheng PingQing They all realized soonist of tonight's birthday party
News like this always traveled fast, and soon, students started to pour out of the restaurant and towards the skating rink Initially, Lin Qian had just been following the crowd But when he saas happening at the skating rink, his lips tightened, and he rushed in, only stopping to put on some skates
As soon as he stepped on the ice, Lin Qian, like an arrow leaving its bow, ran quickly but steadily towards Zhjeng PingQing
Lin Qian stopped near the two figures twisting together on the rink, their skates scraping ice everywhere With a cold voice, he said: “Stop it right now, nowas startled by the chilly voice and subconsciously started to let go, but he really didn't want to let go of Zheng PingQing's collar that he had finally gotten a hold of after much effort
There was no other choice Since it was a fight, Lin Qian had to use force
Lin Qian didn't rees as he said: “If you don't let go,to slice off your ar suddenly felt a cold sensation against his aro
Lin Qian couldn't be bothered looking at hi up, and supported hi on?”
Zheng PingQing didn't answer Lin Qian and instead nervously held hiht “Why'd you come, you can't skate Be careful not to fall”
The iet up by hiuising hier? It turns out this person couldn't skate at all!
Lin Qian didn't answer When he saw Zheng PingQing fall on the ice, he didn't care about anything else Now that he had helped Zheng PingQing up, he directly ignored Zheng Chong and helped Zheng PingQing skate towards the edge of the rink
Not willing to be disregarded, Zheng Chong followed the two At the entrance, soathered, with Huo YeRui in front He said: “Why were you fighting? We're all friends If you have so to say, you should just talk it out slowly…”
Zheng Chong interrupted Huo YeRui with a sneer “What friends? Who doesn't know that Zheng PingQing and I are irreconcilable enemies?”
Huo YeRui stuttered at this He didn't expect such a thing He forced himself to pretend to be the peacemaker and s PingQing with his eyes: So you have other irreconcilable ene i's claims “Don't talk nonsense The only irreconcilable enemy I have is Lin Qian”
Huo YeRui al fro Chong didn't know about the great en and Lin Qian He ju their way “Zheng PingQing, we should settle our old grudges now”
Zheng Chong spoke with significantthe rink walls became very nervous But a certain so's cruel words in the slightest Instead, his eyes were fixed on Zheng PingQing's elbow “Why are you hurt?”
